Nimoy Fronting New Radio Show

The man responsible for bringing Trek's first Vulcan to life will soon be
beaming into millions of homes once again – this time, eschewing the final
frontier in favour of exploring sacred and secular Jewish music.

According to the website for Canton, Ohio's newspaper The Repository, Leonard
Nimoy (Spock) will be presenting the 13-part series of two hour
episodes, which will cover a variety of select material from the Milken Archive, a project aimed at
preserving and cataloguing 350 years of Jewish music. The show will go out on
WFMT Radio Network stations and XM Satellite Radio, with the first broadcast
of the latter to be aired at 8:00pm ET on October 7th.

"I grew up speaking Yiddish at home in Boston and hearing this music during
services at synagogue and at social events where my uncle and four cousins
played klezmer music," said Nimoy, adding that he felt "very much at home"
with both the program and the music.

The show will explore a variety of themes and American Jewish music,
ranging from film scores and operas to Holocaust reflections, through to
world premieres of recently discovered Jewish compositions by renowned
composer Leonard Bernstein.
